En el marco del Grupo Operativo Tuber Label, sobre la trufa negra, se ha realizado un análisis de las percepciones entre los productores de trufa, industria de transformación, los agentes comercializadores y otros expertos de la cadena de valor de la trufa respecto a las posibles certificaciones de ecológico, gestión forestal sostenible PEFC y trazabilidad con la cadena de custodia. Para ello se han realizado entrevistas sobre la comercialización y producción de la trufa. También se ha pretendido sondear el estado de opinión sobre este producto, analizando las percepciones. Además se ha pretendido ver el valor añadido que proporciona la certificación con PEFC o en ecológico. Y, por último, analizar el valor de marca de la trufa negra.

Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
